Reading the city is ... The place where we are born as much as the people we first meet, forms the basis of our own self-image and identity, an essential ingredient in making us who we are. This combination gives us our language or regional dialect, our civic pride, our sense of belonging. People participating in an urban way of life develop ways of reading their city. They “feel” the city. They can feel the city’s pulse, read its atmosphere Course Leader David Powell & Course Administrator Håkan Berntsson
About the courses Reading the city is a series of EU Socrates sponsored courses for teachers of adults and children, which have been held in various cities throughout Europe since 2006. Each year we select new European cities to explore and through a week of lectures, visits, workshops and practical projects we learn to decipher the city from many aspects; through the cultural institutions, museums, the public spaces and works of art. We look at who lives where and why. We look at the traditional or historical life of the city and the newer multicultural additions. Course material All participants will receive two teaching packs; the “SMILE” book and the “Learning Eye” book with associated interactive CDs. The books are the results of the Socrates Comenius and Grundtvig projects upon which the courses are based
